Chapter 268
Although the contents of the oiled paper bag were already cold, there was still an enticing fragrance wafting around.

For a moment, Wu Bin and the three looked at the oiled paper bag in her hand.

Wu Bin licked the corner of his mouth and said, "Xiaosi, what's delicious in your oil paper bag?"

The three of them had just gone to Cangwu Mountain with Long Yu to fight a group of bandits, and hurried back, they hadn't eaten at all, and they were starving at the moment.

Seeing that the three of them had salivating expressions on their faces, Yan Xiaosi opened the oiled paper bag generously.

"This is the little fried potatoes my mother made for me."

Zhao Xi's Adam's apple rolled.

"It's good to have a mother. My mother passed away when I was very young. I don't even remember what my mother's cooking tastes like."

Wu Bin said: "I have a mother with Wang Cheng, but I am also like you."

Wang Cheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, we have been away from home for four years. I don't know when this war will stop. If it continues for a few more years, it's hard to say whether I can see my mother when I go back."

In this era, the level of medical care is low, and the life expectancy of human beings is generally not high, especially the life expectancy of ordinary people. Because of poverty, minor illnesses depend on carrying them, and serious illnesses depend on carrying them. If they can’t bear it, they have to wait for death. No wonder Wang Cheng and Wu Bin feel this way concerns.

Under such circumstances, Yan Xiaosi really couldn't bear to eat alone.

"Brother Ang, Brother Zhao, Brother Wang, are you hungry? My mother's fried potatoes are delicious. Try it."

The three hungry ghosts had been waiting for her words for a long time, and when they saw her handing over the oil-paper bag, one of them reached in and grabbed two or three.

He was not greedy, and kept most of it for Yan Xiaosi.

Yan Xiaosi clenched the oiled paper bag tightly, and sighed sleepily: "I'm going to the commander's tent to watch the night for His Royal Highness Zhanwang. The three big brothers don't have to wait for me to come back."

The three people who were eating small fried potatoes looked at her leaving back, and they were all happy in their hearts.

Wu Bin said: "His Royal Highness Zhanwang thinks highly of the little four brothers, and even let the little four brothers go to the night watch."

Wang Chengdao: "Of course, the fourth brother just rescued His Royal Highness Zhan Wang."

Zhao Xidao: "In the future, we need to build a good relationship with the fourth brother, maybe we can follow the fourth brother to prosperity."

Wu Bin and Wang Cheng rolled their eyes at him at the same time.

Needless to say!

Long Yu lay crooked for a long time, thinking that Yan Xiaosi had the audacity to leave him behind, and when he was on fire, he saw Yan Xiaosi walking in with an oiled paper bag, his expression softened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Why did it take so long?"

Yan Xiaosi didn't intend to go to the bed, so she carried the oil-paper bag and walked to the table some distance away from the bed and sat down.

"I went to the kitchen to wash my hands, and then went back to the military tent."

Seeing that she was far away from him, Long Yu frowned.

"come over."

This was an order, so Yan Xiaosi had no choice but to move a chair and sit in front of the bed, but she remained silent when facing Long Yu at close range, silently opened the oiled paper bag, and took out a cold fried potato from inside, Eat in silence.

Long Yu didn't bother to eat tonight, and lost some blood again, smelling the aroma of fried potatoes, his Adam's apple rolled.

"What are you eating?"

"I went back to Shaoyao Village today. These are small fried potatoes made by my mother."

Long Yu asked a question, Yan Xiaosi answered.

The Adam's apple obviously rolled again, Long Yu missed Zhong's craftsmanship very much, and was very dissatisfied with Yan Xiaosi eating by himself, completely ignoring him, an injury that needed tonic.

"Are you just eating by yourself?"

Yan Xiaosi glanced at him and saw his salivating expression.

"His Royal Highness is hungry?"

"Nonsense, I didn't eat anything tonight, and I lost so much blood."

Yan Xiaosi quickly hugged the oiled paper and got up.

"Then I'll go and inform the kitchen to prepare food for His Royal Highness the King of War."

Long Yu didn't want to eat the food made in the kitchen, if he wanted to eat, he would have ordered Wu Longwei to pass the food on.

"This king wants to eat the potatoes in your hand."

Zhong Shi just made some small fried potatoes, and gave some to Wu Bin and the others in the military tent just now, there was really not much left, but seeing Long Yu's longing eyes, Yan Xiaosi suddenly softened his heart.

Until she stuffed the whole oiled paper bag to Long Yu, she didn't understand why she would soften her heart to a tough guy and willingly offer her beloved supper.

Long Yu was lying on the bed, holding the oiled paper bag with his hands exposed outside the quilt, he really couldn't take care of himself.

It was clear that he was only shot by an arrow, but he felt his whole body was paralyzed, so paralyzed that he couldn't move at all.

This is the sequelae of anesthesia. Although the person wakes up, it will take several hours for the anesthesia to completely disappear.

"Is this how you serve as a servant for this king?"

He slowly raised his hand, handed back the greased paper bag to Yan Xiaosi, opened his mouth, and signaled Yan Xiaosi to feed him.

Yan Xiaosi saw the stiff movements of his hands, and then remembered that he had been injected with anesthesia.

For the sake of the anesthetic's effect, she took the oiled paper bag, took out a small fried potato from inside, and stuffed it into Long Yu's mouth.

Long Yu ate fried small potatoes, narrowed his eyes slightly, the familiar taste seemed to feel that he had returned to the broken grass temple at the end of Shaoyao Village.

While feeding him, Yan Xiaosi asked casually: "Are those bandits in Cangwu Mountain very powerful? Have you found the lost food and grass?"

Long Yu said: "A group of bandits, a mob, how powerful can it be."

The most powerful is the person who controls the bandits.

"Part of the grain and grass was retrieved, and the other part was burned. The bandits in Cangwu Mountain were wiped out."

Yan Xiaosi frowned upon hearing this.

Food and grass are extremely important to an army. Even if it is a division of tigers and wolves, if there is not enough food and grass to support them, the tigers and wolves will eventually starve into a herd of sheep.

"A part was burned, what part do you mean?"

When mentioning the burned food and grass, Long Yu's expression turned serious.

"In the middle, when the king's troops arrived, the bandits were setting fire to burn food."

"So half of the grain was burned."

Yan Xiaosi was puzzled.

"Aren't those bandits robbing the army food to feed their hunger?"

Long Yu answered her with certainty: "No."

Since it was not for food, it was instigated by others, and the purpose was probably to disturb the morale of Long Yu's army.

Yan Xiaosi guessed for a while, and didn't ask any further questions, just said: "Half of the army's food and grass has been destroyed, what should we do now?"

Originally thought fried potatoes were delicious, but when Yan Xiaosi raised this question, Long Yu suddenly felt that fried potatoes had changed their taste.

"We can only transport food and grass from the nearest city."

"The closest cities to here are Xize County and Luocheng, but this is the land in the west of the Great Chu Dynasty. Years of famines and wars, people's lives are poor, and commerce is not well developed. I'm afraid it won't be possible to raise so many in a short time. forage."

As the commander of the army, Long Yu naturally thought of this.
